Thought for today:
"Someday brother, when we are grown up and are able to make our own way to a more prosperous country, we will be able to know all of those things that we only hear of today and never have.
Someday we'll know that when we wake each morning with an empty belly that it will soon be filled. We'll know that we can afford to let our children have a sound education which gives them a greater knowledge of our world, greater understanding of its peoples and customs and a greater respect for themselves and others of less fortunate circumstances.
Someday we'll know that in the month of December that our children can roll around in snow instead of sand on a blistering hot beach and build snowmen and throw snowballs at each other. We'll know that if we as their parents, continue to work hard and save all our spare money in our new country, that every year or two we can come back here as 'the man made good' and be the envy of all around. Someday, brother.....someday it will hopefully happen! Someday. Until then, Merry Christmas everyone." William Forde: December 14th, 2013.
